For
my entrepreneurial idea, the specific information encoded in it is the pictures
of the clothing and the words in the options that you choose. Each separate
piece of clothing is one piece of the information, as well as each word in the
choices for weather, mood, and occasion. Also, the instructions for the system
are encoded as information.
Considering
a byte can represent 256 combinations, in this system a byte can represent 256
combinations of mood/occasion/weather and also 256 combinations of pieces of
one’s wardrobe. Therefore, how many combinations there may be in the options
and the articles of clothing, this system can have a storage size of a
kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte, etc. It all depends on how
many pieces of clothing one has. However, there are only “x” amount of options
for the mood, weather, and occasion and therefore the storage space for that
would be a specific amount.
In
order for the system to work properly, it has to keep up with how the file
formats change over time in order to not deteriorate. When using this system
people have to update the software or means of disc format it is on. It may
possible start as a CD-ROM to install onto ones computer now, however in a few
years a different means will be needed.
